Optoelectronics: A Practical Approach

Optoelectronics is the branch of science which deals with the study and application of various electronic systems and devices which are capable of sourcing, detecting and controlling light. This encompasses visible as well as invisible form of light such as infrared rays, ultraviolet rays and gamma rays. Optoelectronic devices are transducers which possess either optical-to-electrical or electrical-to-optical nature. Such devices are based on the quantum mechanical effects of light on diffe...
